Charlie-
i just cut off a piece of 1 1/2 o.d. pvc [1 1/2 long, i think], dropped
them down the tubes under the springs [pre-loaders, if you will], and my
forks have never, ever, bottomed out. i use the reccommended ammount of oil,
40 wt. fork oil- i think that's what i found in the rafters. ;>) still the
origional springs, too!

Hi All,
On a related subject, has anyone tried using a larger quantity of fork oil
than recommended? Say adding 10 cc at a time (over the standard fill amount)
and seeing if it helps with fork bottoming and dive. With more oil there
would be less air in the fork. Less air to compress = less dive/bottoming?
Worked on my old XS650 Yamaha years ago. Just a thought! Cheers,
Charlie
